STEVE MILLER Drops Bomb on TED CRUZ: He Proposed Legislation to Double Muslim Immigration in America

Steve Miller spoke this morning at the Donald Trump town hall in Racine, Wisconsin. Miller destroyed Ted Cruz on the senator’s immigration and trade record. Miller pointed out that Ted Cruz supported the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal that will cost the US millions of jobs.

Cruz also pushed to expand Muslim immigration into America. This is despite the fact that Obama has issued 68o,000 green cards to immigrants from Muslim countries in the last five years.

The Cruz amendment would have doubled the number of Muslim immigrants to America to up to 1.35 million.

Steve Miller added,

“Why is it that our media is more concerned with Donald Trump’s tone than illegal immigrants killing her Americans… Washington weeps no tears for these dead Americans. Instead Washington says you should be concerned about Donald Trump’s tone!… This is your once in a lifetime opportunity that will not come again!”

The Washington Examiner reported on Cruz’s support for expanding Muslim immigration in America.

The Washington Examiner reported:

Plans pushed by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz under the immigration reform debate in 2013 that would have jumped the number of immigrants, including those from Muslim nations, were raised by the Trump campaign Tuesday.

Under the Cruz plan, yearly legal immigration would have gone from 740,000 to 1,675,000. He said his idea was to actually help kill the bill not boost the numbers.

“I was introducing a whole series of amendments, in part to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the Democrats. So, for example, the Democrats claimed they were supporting high-tech workers, so I introduced an amendment on that, every Democrat voted against it, which demonstrated that this was all a political endeavor for them, that what they were saying wasn’t true,” he told radio’s Laura Ingraham.

The Cruzlims just can't believe that their Prophet (peace be upon Him) is really a shill for amnesty. In his own words:

“And I'd like to make a final point to those advocacy groups that are very engaged in this issue and rightly concerned about addressing our immigration system and, in particular, about addressing the situation for the 11 million who are currently in the shadows. If this amendment is adopted to the current bill, the effect would be that those 11 million under this current bill would still be eligible for RPI status. They would still be eligible for legal status and indeed, under the terms of the bill, they would be eligible for LPR status as well so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their principal objective to provide a legal status for those who are here illegally to be out of the shadows. This amendment would allow that happen, but what it would do is remove the pathway to citizenship so that there are real consequences that respect the rule of law and that treat legal immigrants with the fairness and respect they deserve. And a second point to those advocacy groups that are so passionately engaged. In my view, if this committee rejects this amendment, and I think everyone here views it as quite likely this committee will choose to reject this amendment, in my view, that decision will make it much, much more likely that this entire bill will fail in the House of Representatives. I don't want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass. And so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in out of the shadows. Then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromised to come together. And this amendment, I believe, if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically.”

And here's the thing. Ted Cruz knew full well that his push for legal permanent residency would be a pathway to citizenship. Once 11+ or 13+ million people are granted residency, the VERY FIRST thing that will happen will be that a group of libs (or maybe even cheap labor express Republicans) will take a case for Social Security, or the right to vote, or maybe everything at once, to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court, whatever its makeup, would likely uphold the long-standing preference to not create or maintain a political underclass in America. Any "legal status" invented for these millions of people by the slime balls in Congress will immediately be erased by the Supreme Court, and since the genie would already be out of the bottle and the invaders would be halfway to full citizenship already, the Court would likely just complete the transition rather than try to undo the legal gymnastics. And Cruz, being a lawyer, knows all of this. He is an amnesty pimp through-and-through. He's outright lying about it while campaigning for President. There is no reason whatsoever to believe that he's changed his mind on this even a little bit.

No vote for Cruz from 3 of my family members from Florida. I remember my son voting for the first time for trump in the primary a few weeks ago such a proud moment. For my wife and I the excitement was great since it was the first time we were voting for the candidate and not party. Both of our first votes were bush 1 in 1988. Been downhill since til 2016. Glad we had that moment. We will write in trump in November and let the chips fall where ever.

When you lose in the Celebrity Apprentice Show

That explains it. I don't reality shows. Voice, Talent, Funniest, Dancing with who ever..ETC. While America burns down, the MSM is feeding them with video crack. IMHO

[napscoordinator]

Did he write and support the amendment or not? Those are the facts.

[lodi90]

Cruz also reversed on Corker and with the gang of mafia critters threatened Cotton who was the only one opposing the blank check given to Obama on treaties, taking powers away from Congress.

---

Ah yes. The treaty clause busting vote by “Constitutional conservative” Ted Cruz. He did the same on TPA, btw.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I swear, if I knew the bikers, I would have been all over it!

I nay yet do something, but I need suggestions on how. Let FReepers know. I will do the same.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I might try the videos myself. Great idea!

Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions are two of the three most conservative US Senators in office. Senator Sessions backed Cruz on this explanation and said: “the gang of eight . . . it was that close to being passed . . . and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed.”

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/12/18/mike_lee_i_was_with_ted_cruz_the_entire_time_claims_he_supported_rubios_amnesty_bill_are_100_false.html

Mike Lee agrees: “At no time during that process, at no moment did Ted Cruz take any action that was tantamount to supporting Amnesty. He filed amendments designed to make the bill less bad.”

Having followed the debate closely, that was also my view of the situation. The liberals (including Rubio) hated the Cruz amendments and voted every one of them down.

“I have decided. I will never vote for Trump. he is not a real conservative.”

Then are we to assume you are voting RAT this fall? The truth is pal, there are NO CONSERVATIVES RUNNING! “Real Conservatives” today are as rare as Big Foot! But I guess for you, just so long as they TELL YOU they’re “real conservatives,” you’ll vote for them just like you always have?

[Dick Bachert]

IT'S NOT IMMIGATION. IT'S AN INVASION!

[GeaugaRepublican]

Why believe anyone on Free Republic? It is better to go to the Club for Growth website where they tout all the wonderful things Cruz will do.

Ted Cruz is the hand picked Club For Growth, pro-amnesty candidate for President.

Everything Miller said is fact. I know because I've researched slimy Ted and know that he pushed TPA right up to last vote, that he wrote that WSJ article with Ryan advocating more power to Obama. All spelled out in this article:

Ted Cruz joins the establishment

[blueyon]

“Mike Lee agrees: “At no time during that process, at no moment did Ted Cruz take any action that was tantamount to supporting Amnesty. He filed amendments designed to make the bill less bad.””

Why yes increasing immigrates/refugees by double and foreign workers by 500 percent always makes a bill less bad.......is a sarcasm tag needed?

[Cboldt]

The Steve Miller who made the remark, or the rock star?

The one who made the remark is an aid to senator Sessions, and he (Miller) was in the room when Cruz proposed the increased quotas remarked about.

[Kenny]

So Cruz advocated for a 500% increase in H1b visas as part of the poison pill? Doubling green cards, a legal path for immigrants all poison?

Everything in that amendment screamed donor influence. I think Sessions spoke on the one piece that Dems didn’t like as a parting gift to Cruz before he joined Obama. If Jeff really believed Ted wanted to stop immigration, he would have endorsed him, not Trump.

[PA Engineer]

Bookmarked and BTTT.

[Amntn]

But Sessions endorsed Trump and then Sessions top immigration adviser, Steve Miller, went to work for Trump as his policy adviser.

[AmusedBystander]

I have decided. I will never vote for Trump. he is not a real conservative.

Please define "real conservative" for me. I could list 10 things that I would consider "conservative" and a third of FReepers would agree with nine of them yet call me a RINO for one item they disagree with. Only Trump is the one candidate running who is promoting the most "conservative" program at all. Cruz is the me-too guy until he became the anti-Trump guy and is the opportunist revealed for anyone who wants to open their eyes.
